Why is there a difference in dextrose levels between liquid and agar media?

The liquid culture medium (20g/L) is set to an appropriate sugar level for enrichment purposes. The agar medium (40g/L) is based on the Japanese Pharmacopoeia's regulations, which prioritize the promotion of fungal growth, and the higher sugar concentration creates an environment where fungi can grow more easily.
